ATI RN Leadership Retake 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of clients on the surgical floor. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to organize their workload and manage time efficiently?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Documenting interventions as completed ensures accuracy and saves time later. Skipping breaks leads to fatigue, batching similar tasks delays high-priority needs, and starting with low-priority tasks is inefficient.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is assessing a client who has returned from an acute care facility following a brief illness. The nurse observes that the client is confused and agitated. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Measuring vital signs assesses for physiological causes of confusion and agitation, prioritizing client safety. Reassuring family, reorienting, or medicating follow assessment.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is orienting a newly licensed nurse about the use of restraints. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tying restraints to the movable bed frame prevents injury from tightening. Square knots are unsafe, ‘as needed’ prescriptions are invalid, and restraints should be removed every 2 hours.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse witnesses two nurses having a loud discussion at the nurses' station about not wanting to care for a client who has drug-resistant tuberculosis. Which of the following actions should the charge nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Escorting the nurses to a private lounge de-escalates the public disruption and allows mediation. Taking over care avoids addressing the conflict, termination is extreme, and involving the supervisor is less immediate.
Question 5 of 5
A charge nurse is evaluating a newly licensed nurse and presents a performance improvement plan to the nurse for remediation. Which of the following outcomes should indicate to the charge nurse that the plan has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Performing all tasks as specified demonstrates successful implementation of the plan. Verbalizing understanding or attending classes shows engagement but not performance, and sharing the plan is irrelevant to outcomes.
